How's everyone's weekend going? Mine's been pretty good so far. 
          	
          	I just started a new story called Suma and the Five Scrolls. It's going to be a pretty short one, but I promise it will be fun. I merged together steampunk elements in an Egyptian setting. I think you'll like it!

I just finished Clockwork Conspiracy and I loved it!!!!! If you like steampunk, I would recommend pretty much any book by Gail Carriger. Starting with the Finishing School series, then Parasol Protectorate, then The Custard Protocol. (They are three different series and that’s the order they take place in.) There’s not much lgbt but it is full of mechanicals (And mechanimals), vampires, werewolves (but it’s not cringey!!), and non-discriminating mcs! 
          Idk I love these books so I figured a fellow steampunk reader would enjoy them as well.
